How to Load CSV Training Data in Python Without Pandas
Load CSV training data using Python's standard library and mock it with io.StringIO for testing, returning headers and rows as dictionaries.
import csv
from pathlib import Path
def load_csv_training_data(file_path: str | Path) -> tuple[list[str], list[dict[str, str]]]:
"""Load CSV training data and return headers plus rows as dictionaries."""
with open(file_path, mode="r", newline="", encoding="utf-8") as csv_file:
reader = csv.DictReader…One Hot Encode Categories in Python
Convert a list of categorical strings into one-hot encoded numeric vectors using pure Python and NumPy.
import numpy as np
categories = ["red", "green", "blue", "red", "blue", "green", "red"]
unique = sorted(set(categories))
lookup = {cat: i for i, cat in enumerate(unique)}
one_hot = []
for cat in categories:
row = [0] * len(unique)
row[lookup[cat]] = 1
one_hot.append(row)
print("Categories:", categories…Browse by section
